Hello,
I am currently with T-Mobile and own a Galaxy Note 4 SM-N910U model, the exynos variant. Is there a way to enable voLTE on this device through some menu? My carrier supports this feature and I know my phone does as well, but it is disabled because the data drops to 3g whenever I make a call.
Anyone?
On mine is in the menu

Hmmn.. Mine isn't in the call menu. It must be in some hidden menu.
Have you used the search function in settings?

Yes I have, but it is no where could be found. I am going to contact Samsung later.
Don't see it on my sm-n910c either.

I confirmed with Samsung that the device indeed has support for voLTE if your carrier supports it. They informed me that it should be turned on by default, which is a lie because my carrier has voLTE and whenever I make a call, the data drops to 3g.

In Japan......if we bring a self acquired device and use it on their network.......certain feature will not work.
Like VOLTE....as I just discovered. They have a separate APN for other devices and it does not support VOLTE.
The other APN that their carrier branded phones use....recognizes the phones based off of their IMEI number.
So.....it might not be a phone issue. Could be your carrier skimming on certain features for phones purchased elsewhere.
Don't see it on my sm-n910f either
hi all, i don't see the menu in my SM-N910F
In your opinion, Is it possible that VOLTE works only on Note4 Exynos? and doesn't works on Snapdragon based Note4 ?

Try custom rom there are many
thanks but i don't want to invalidate the guarantee.
Guys I also have a N910C Exynos Variant and its quite frustrating to know that a flagship device doesn't support VoLTE !
You won't find it in system settings

Just go to 'Phone' & then tap on 3 vertical dots and then select 'settings' and then select 'call' and after that enable VOLTE
can someone explain me what is the purpose of Volte? for what you use this?

volte is Voice Over LTE. It is basically what it says on the tin. You can make voice calls over LTE internet connections.
VoLTE (HD voice) and Wifi Calling WORKS with the SM-N910T.
I am currently using this device, with "MetroPCS by T-Mobile". As of 01-29-2021, T-Mobile will only allow the SM-N910T to work on their network. The "T" variant only, because it is T-Mobile's own device. VoLTE (HD voice) will work if you use OEM stock Android 6.0.1.
Here's how I enabled VoLTE (HD voice) and Wifi Calling:
Backed up ALL my files.
Removed SIM and SD cards.
Made sure battery had at least 80% !!
(If using a generic battery, it must be 100%. They drain faster!)
Used Odin (v3.13.1) to flash/install lastest Stock Android 6.0.1. (This wiped everything, even storage, pics, etc.) First boot took over 20 mins!
After reboot, connected to WIFI.
Went to phone's Settings, About Device, Software Updates, and tapped Download Updates Manually. This caused it to find a modem (baseband) update. I chose to install it NOW. It did just that, and rebooted.
Powered off phone.
Reinstalled SIM and SD cards.
Turned phone on, and VoLTE (HD voice) was fixed. Whenever I speak with another HD caller, "HD" appears next to their name.
To enable Wifi Calling, go to Settings, More Networks, Wi-Fi Calling, and enable it.
CAUTION / Extra Info:
A few days ago, I broke the screen on my primary SM-N910T. The screen would not light up, and it did not respond to any touches. I went to a MetroPCS store, to move my account to another SM-N910T. The sales rep said he could not move my account to the other device, showed me his computer screen as "proof", and said it needed to be HD voice compatible. I told him both phones are identical, and both had VoLTE working perfectly. Then he offered to try it anyway for $29 (non-refundable). I politely declined, went home, and swapped the motherboards. All is fine again. I shared this story in case you encounter similar resistance, and need to tell the sales rep you are willing to take a (non-refundable) chance. And to warn you that T-Mobile might have made some changes, that I am not aware of. However, I am currently using the SM-N910T.
Anyone using an unlocked T-mobile S7 with an AT&T Sim? Do you get full LTE? Any difference in signal strength, etc?
Just curious. Im about to trade my S7 edge for a regular S7 cause I like the smaller size, but it's an unlocked t-mobile model. I know they both use the same bands so it should work fine. Just wondering about anyone else's experience. Thanks.
I'm using an unlocked T-Mobile on AT&T. I don't have any signal problems. I, however, cannot get volte to work. I'm in the process of looking to see if anyone has been able to maybe flash AT&T firmware onto a T-Mobile variant, or if we might be able to flash the stock firmware and use an ATT CSC to gain volte. I also don't get notifications from visual voicemail but visual voicemail does work. The notification comes through like a standard voicemail notification and then I have to open the VVM app and refresh to see the new message.
Thanks for the reply. Good to know. I don't use the volte actually I have it turned off because I seem to drop more calls with it on then with it off. But yeah if an AT&T stock fw could be flashed to it I think the tmo model would be preferable to me.
I bought an international s7 edge since the American Snap models have locked bootloaders. I flash custom roms and stuff, so Exynos was a must for me. However, since my phone wasn't made for the T-Mobile network, it's missing a few things
1) Video Calling results in "Unable to make Video Call to this number"
2) I have no way to toggle Wi-Fi calling, a feature I want to use since T-Mobile is charging for it
3) I have no idea if VoLTE is working or not, since there isn't a toggle under connections or the phone app
I remember on my TMO s6 edge+ most of these features were simple floatingfeature.xml codes that needed to be enabled. Unfortunately, I no longer have that phone and don't remember the codes, or know if adding these codes to an international will solve my problem. I would greatly appreciate any help you could offer, and thank you for reading!
I'm about to pull the trigger on S10e, maybee S10 TODAY if i can scrounge up the caysh. But i'm debating hard over the International vs USA unlocked.
My issue is that Wifi calling is a big part of my life and its a must-have.
My s7 seemed like a pain in the arse to get Wifi and Volte working. Change csc and custom roms etc if i remember correctly.
Im using a tmobile mvno sim btw.
Can anyone confirm Wifi calling & Volte working on the International S10e with GSM sim? (assuming you flashed csc)
Ok phone ninjas. I got the notification from cricket today that my SM-935u will not work once 3g is turned off. I found the compatibility list HERE. Note that all the "u" phones after are updateable and should work. And all the att branded phones back to the s4 are compatiable. So, does the hardware exist in the unlocked s7 Edge SM-935u and is there a way to make it work once the 3g network is shutdown? I guess what I'm reading is that post 3g shutdown phones must support VoLTE. The older phones drop to 3g for voice calls. Will texting still work if voice doesn't.
So the questions, can via a software update, booloader unlock, custom rom (such as to the SM-935a firmware), make this phone continue to work? Oh, and if you can provide a step by step guide or link to one that would be great.
Or is this phone just a paperweight in 5 months if on cricket or att?
